Niceville trio signs with Alabama, South Alabama and Georgetown

NICEVILLE — For an athletic program that's celebrated 174 signings the previous four years, quality trumped quantity Thursday in Niceville High's packed auditorium as the nation's top high school javelin thrower chose between Alabama, FSU, Oklahoma and TCU and the area's best battery signed with a pair of D-I programs. Three young women and their numerous school records and state champion mindsets took center stage to kickstart Niceville's signing season, Shelby Plasier ultimately choosing the crimson Alabama cap, ace Chloe Bailey inking her future with South Alabama and catcher Molly Mayfield signing with Georgetown. Plasier represented the 49th overall college signing for Eagles coach Emily Webb, the architect behind "Throwsville" and Niceville's five track and field state titles in the last six years. In just three years under Webb, Plasier has skyrocketed through the ranks with state titles her sophomore and junior seasons and now she has the school record with 154-07 feet throw headed into her quest for a three-peat. Alabama, to her, represented the fruition of all her hard work and sacrifices across multiple sports.

Santa Rosa tacks another month onto timeline for Isaias debris cleanup

A big bump in the estimated amount of debris created by Hurricane Isaias' rampage through Santa Rosa County has driven up the cost of clean up and pushed back the time frame for having it completed. Deputy County Administrator Jared Lowe reported to the Santa Rosa County Commission Nov. 10 that an original estimate of the amount of debris of 1.8 million cubic yards had been increased to somewhere in the vicinity of 4 million cubic yards. "The first best guess was made by an assessment team driving around and looking at what they saw," Lowe said. "The second estimate comes as people are pulling debris that wouldn't have been visible from the road in those first days." With a first pass of debris clean up nearing completion and a second due to get underway, county residents are replacing what had been removed from the roadway with debris from the backs of their properties, Lowe told commissioners. The amount already collected has exceeded 2 million cubic yards. "We're looking at considerable cleanup for the next month or two," Commission Chairman Colten Wright concluded after hearing Lowe's report. That timeline would extend by about a month what had originally been estimated.

'Project Clerks' poised to bring 3.7 acres of retail, restaurants to Pea Ridge

"Project Clerks" is the pseudonym Santa Rosa County Economic Development Director Shannon Ogletree has given to a proposed development that promises to bring "multiple nationally known retailers and restaurants to the Highway 90 Corridor." A group based in Franklin, Tennessee, calling itself Highway 90 Development LLC is listed as the owner of the 22-acre parcel at the intersection of U.S. 90 and the Pea Ridge Connector Road across from West Florida Regional Medical Center in Pace. The group wants to add 160,000 square feet, or almost 3.7 acres, of retail, service and restaurant space. The specific businesses the group plans to recruit have not been publicly announced, but county officials have expressed enthusiasm for the project. "Residents won't have to drive over to Escambia County any more for shopping or to eat out," Ogletree said. The project was brought to the County Commission Nov. 10 at its Committee of the Whole meeting. Commissioners were being asked to approve an incentive arrangement of approximately $1.12 million and a tree mitigation plan to open the door to development of the presently vacant, commercially zoned property. Under the incentive agreement, the ad valorem taxes paid on the retail development property would be reduced
